Who we are

Founded in 2024, JoyRide is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that funds cycling in the Brazos Valley. We pay for trail building and maintenance, youth cycling, and better bike infrastructure — so the volunteers doing the work don't have to fundraise too.

We think that Bryan/College Station is a great community and is primed to be an exceptional cycling community. We have been fortunate to live and cycle in some world class locations and want to bring the best of those places to the Brazos Valley.

    Certified PMBIA Instructor 

    Riding around St. Paul, Minnesota as a child, Dave discovered the freedom of cycling leading to a life long love. He was a member of the University of Colorado cycling team and spent more time on the western slope riding mountain bikes than he did in class. In 2011, he drove a support vehicle for his father and Team Type 2 in the Ride Across America. 

    Dave has served as the President of the Brazos Valley Mountain Biker’s Association since 2023. In 2025 Dave received his Instructor certification from the PMBIA.

    Kali grew up in Texas and started her biking journey out being pulled by her parents in a Burley trailer. She would have been happy to have people continue to pull her around, but eventually she had to ride her own bike and discovered she loved that too. After moving to Colorado in 2008 she started mountain biking around the mountain west. Despite a rocky start, she persevered and discovered that she really loves mellow, flowy trails.
